The 7-peaks trail: seven peaks, seven stories

The mindful hiking experience with seven tour recommendations around "The Benevolent queen and her Noblemen".

 

Listen to the story of the mountains!

What do the mountains have to do with the queen's realm and her knights?

The seven mountains stand for the "Benevolent queen and her six knights". Each peak has a story to tell and a message to share, and holds a life lesson for mountain enthusiasts. This trail takes you through a beautiful mountain landscape, and each step brings you closer to the wisdom of the mountains.

  • Bischofsmütze, the benevolent queen (starting from: Filzmoos)
  • Saukarfunktel, the poet (starting from: Flachau)
  • Hochgründeck, the healer (starting from: St. Johann im Pongau)

About Saukarfunktel

Saukarfunktel peak is a small, rocky pyramid shape with magnificent views, and owes its name to the ferruginous rock: when lightning strikes, the rock sparks ("funken" in German). The trip up Saukarfunktel starts with a ride on the lift straight from the centre of Flachau up to 1730 metres. From here, you first hike up to Grießenkareck (1991 m), which is visible from miles away. A pleasant panoramic trail leads from this summit to your final destination. All around the summit of Saukarfunktel are huge boulders – ideal for a break or picnic.
